"Nuclear Fusion (Star Light)" was released March 30 as the lead single from jazz fusion drummer and producer Fourth Dimension’s latest album (he's often known as 4D). It combines experimental jazz sounds on the guitar with keyboard parts. The drumming is inventive throughout, interesting enough that you will find yourself focusing on it rather than accepting it as a mere background to the track. This is even more the case towards the end, where 4D’s drumming gets a chance to stand out.
Millennial Kingdom Vol. 1 is 4D’s first release since his 2014 EP Tesseract. The influences he has cited for his music are varied, but are mainly jazz musicians from the 1960s and 1970s, like Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis and Weather Report.
The other five tracks on the album broadly fall into the same jazz/fusion genre. The best of them for me are “Darkness Rising,” which is a perfect title for the atmosphere created by this track and again allows 4D to show off on the drums, and “The Return of the Nephilim.” Some of the other tracks go a little bit too far in the direction of electro jazz for my taste, but fans of that style are sure to enjoy them.
